I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of São Paulo and a Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the State University of Campinas. I completed my PhD as part of the LNG-ZERO project, focusing on the development of catalysts and reactors for lean methane oxidation. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the SLDBatt project, which aims to develop low-cost, safe, and circular battery technologies for the long-term storage of renewable electricity.
